FlexDeploy's EBS plugin perfroms performs all build and deployment actions through the application tier only.  For database objects, they are loaded into the database using SQL*Plus on the application tier, therefore no connectivity (endpoint) to the database server is required.  When a shared file system is used across the application-tier nodes, only one of the nodes needs to be configured as an endpoint.  This tutorial assumes a shared APPL TOP.  Other options are supported, but are outside of the scope of this tutorial.

...

Enter the following required fields for the new endpoint, and click Test Connection to validate and ensure connectivity can be established.

FieldDescription
Endpoint NameA descriptive name for the endpoint.
Endpoint AddressThe DNS name or IP address of the endpoint.
User NameUser for which to connect to the endpoint server with.
Password

Password for the User Name. Select Image Added next to the Password field and enter the password in the Secret Text field to create a new credential in the Local Credential Store.

Base Directory

Temporary working area for FlexDeploy executions on this server.

Info

FlexDeploy manages cleaning up the base directory automatically, but a minimum of 4 GB is required.

The Base Directory must be writable by the User Name configured on the endpoint.


JDK Home

Location to the JDK (or JRE) running on the endpoint server.

Info

FlexDeploy plugins are executed as small Java programs which are shipped to the endpoints. 

All endpoints must have a JDK or JRE available (Java 6, Java 7, or Java 8).

The LOCALHOST endpoint comes out of the box with a new installation and represents the FlexDeploy server host itself.  Executions running on this enpoint endpoint will run within the FlexDeploy server JVM.  We will not be utilizing the LOCALHOST endpoint in this tutorial.
